THE CHRONICLE, TEAGUE, TEXAS, JANUARY 24, 1936
WOMAN’S CLUB LUNCHEON.
One of the most enjoyable af-
fairs of the club year was the
annual Woman’s club luncheon, on
Wednesday, Jan. 16, at the home
of Mrs. J, E. Woods on Ninth
avenue.
Clusters of fragrant violets
were placed advantageously
th rough out the spacious reception
suite.
The guests assembled at 12:30
and under the able suiiervision of
Mrs. P. - C. Hudnall a splendid
program, inspired by the Texas
Centennial and consisting of the
following numbers, was render:
Reading, “My Texas,” by Grace
Noll Crowell: Mrs. F. (|. Shents.
Piano solo, “March Wind,” by
McDowell, and ‘Staeatto Caprice"
by Vogrich: Fonta Mae Johnson.
Reading, An Account of ’.he.
Battle of San Jacinto, excel pL?
from the book, “The Raveaj"
Mrs. McNeill Drumwright.
Male quartet, “The Old Spin-
ning Wheel:” McNeill Dmm-
wright, E. Cr Duke, A. C. Hall
and E. B. Ham, with piano ac-
companiment by Miss Mary Eliz-
abeth Moore.
The famous "Battle Flag of
Texas, with facsimile copies by
Mrs. Hudnall and members.
One of the most distinctive and
interesting features of the oca-
sion was an actual demonstration
of carding rolls and spinning
thread on the old spinning wheel,
which is believed to be about 90
years old, by Mrs. B. H. Knight.
Mrs. Knight is 79 years of age,
and learned to spin at the age of
nine, and still performs this old-
fashioned art with dexterity and
grace: This unusual demonstra-
tion of an almost forgotten art
completely captivated the audi-
ence. It seemed like an echo of
the long ago.
A delicious luncheon was
served, buffet style, with Mines.
K. W. Inwin and W. W. Withrow
presiding at the beautifully ap-
pointed table, those enjoying this
being the members and those as-
sisting with the program; Mrs.
Harry Nelson and Miss Estelle
Williams, honorary members, and

dent and associate member.

ment for the vocalists and instru-
mentalists and given her honor ‘
able discharge.
With the "sighting of land, Skip-
per Scoggin piped all hands on
deck, and after commending than
on their fine seamanship, ordered
the crew discharged.
The staff of stewards from ihe
Home Economics Yacht, under
the guidance of Admirals Day
and Stpver, were given a rousing
cheer for the preparation »pd
serving of thp banquet held on
the goodahip Popeye.
Admiral Mary Lou McMichael
counselor of the Junior crew, was
the guiding spirit behind this
eventful cArise, and all,hands ex-
pressed themselves as having one
of the. finest Junior-Senior get-
togethers ever held, an expres-
sive tribute to the Admiral’s in-
genuity.
The stewards served the cap-
tain’s mess with the following
courses:.
Commodore Cocktail, Jack
Tar’s Special with brown gravy.
Sailor’s Surprise, Buttered Sea
Peas, Pirates’ Shoe Laces, Hard
Tack, Congealed Seaweeds, Cob
Smacks, Sea Foam Delight, Cake.
Neptune’s Wine, Peppermint, Sea
Shell.
The interior of the H. E. Cot-
tage was quite a nautical pic-
ture, with miniature ships,* cel-
luloid fish, cellophane ocean
waves, lighthouses, and macts.
About 95 attended the function.
With A. L. Scoggin, Jr., as
toastmaster and skipper of the
good ship Popeye, the annual
Junior-Senior ‘ banquet, held Fri-
day night at the H. E. Co&ge,
set sail on a voyage of fun, hilar-
ity, enjoyment, and nourishment
with a full crew of active sailors
(Juniors) and the superannuated
crew (Seniors) that was making
its last trip. 'j„ * -
The Junior class, ^ordered to
fill the brig, used invitations in-
stead of the popular “Shanghai”
method of the movies and accom-
plished the desired result, a full
house at the captain’p mess. All
hands were ordered to report for
duty at the Home Economics Pori
by 8 bells, and a few moments
later, Admiral Gregory gave the
Invocation, desiring a safe and
prosperous voyage, both through
the meal and through the coming
years. Captain Scoggin then as-
sumed command from his super-
ior officer and ordered “Anchors
Aweigh!” v *
With the H. E. classes press-
ed into service as stewards, the
bounteous mess hall soon resound-
ed with good natured chatter and
wondering comment by some land-
lubbers as to whether peas at
sea should be “et” with a spoon
or knife.
Bos’n Anna Gray Dumas was
piped to the piano and entertain-
ed the crew and guests with a
selection entitled “Trip to Treas-
ure Island.”
First Mate Modene Thompson
mentioned the log of previous
sailing ventures of the masters of
the ship, and forecast a pleasant
journey on the last voyage of the
Junior ejass as owners of the
ship. She informed'the landlub-
berly Seniors that they were be-
ing taken for a ride—but they
were going to get to return to
shore instead of being cast into
Davy Jones’s locker.
Captain Paul Gray of the eood
ship Senior then responded with
well chosen words, designed to
further placate and still any evil
intentions toward his own crew
of ancient seamen.
